On Sunday the team traveled 3 hours each way to another small village in the Mete district. Hippos were Seen on the way. The church there was in disrepair and a pole structure had been erected inside the old walls.
We spent Monday morning visiting some of the poor families where gave out dresses, shorts, toys, etc.
One of those visited was this woman with 4 children. The 3 children behind her are orphans that she is also raising.
In the afternoon we traveled to Simakumba which is a remote Mother’s Milk distribution site. We passed out milk, dresses, shorts, hats, and toys.
Those smiling faces keep us coming back.
Tuesday we started saying our goodbyes. Here we are with the ladies who cooked, cleaned and did our laundry.
In the evening we had dinner with various leadership members at the nuns house. We had a very nice time which included teaching them the chicken dance.
Wednesday was departure day.
Along the way we came upon an accident. We couldn’t help but they were very grateful for the water and energy bars that we gave them.
We also made a coffee and potty stop at a lodge in the game reserve where we saw some elephants across the river.
Thursday we begin the long trip home…
